I too would hate to see SpectroMagic go, that is pretty much the only parade my family watches.

This is sad news indeed.
SM really needs a total makeover.
I understand why management does not want it closed for a longer time but IMHO a partial redo is not going to hold up in the longrun.
Just my two cents.

Phil is an idiot. It's been scientifically proven.
All my info says that SM will be down for a year-ish. Long enough that they are moving all the CMs to other areas, and they will have to be re-trained on the ride before being allowed to work there upon it's opening.
Also I was told that the order for steel has been placed and contracts for the work signed. If so, I don't see how Phil can back out now.
This back-and-forth on this refurb has been going on for years, and is becoming a joke.

Maybe Jay "Disney Parks!!!!!" Rasulo will come and save it if they can throw in Pixar characters and clone the new version for placement in every other Disney park in the world to strengthen the synergy of the Disney Parks brand. :hammer:

How about demolition and rebuilt like the one in Disneyland? I'd be all in for that too!

Haha, I agree. I usually skip that part of Magic Kingdom. After you see it once, it's like there's no reason to see it again. There's only the Goofy Coaster, && that's it. It's not very interesting.

If MK ever got a parade like Dreamlights in Tokyo, I doubt to many people would complain lol. That parade is pretty amazing.

Megroin?
yep... Megroin.
childish, yes, did it make me laugh on a monday morning, yes.
I wish it would go ahead and closed for rehab so all the debate would end... although, im sure it will be debated until the AP previews.
Hear, here!
Bulldoze Toon Town and put something in its place that makes use of the main Disney characters, but that appeals to someone over the age of 5.
I doubt Space Mountain would be closed for two years. A refurb is most likely in the pipeline to happen, but for how long we're not sure. The Parade of Dreams coming to the Magic Kingdom is sort of old news, when it'll actually happen remains to be seen. Finally, I don't really believe SpectroMagic will be replaced anytime soon, but they could surprise me.

Please don't demolish Toon Town. I think it is great and my son loves it. Kids under the age of 5 do go to the MK!!

The word on SM is it's to be closed for 14-18 months for it's overhaul. New track (same layouts), cars, music, pre show/post show, etc.

Mickey's Toon Town is for little kids. They need it.
It's their part of the park in the same way that Space Mountain is for the older thrill seekers.
Actually I had great fun riding Goofy's Barn Stormer.
